Working for Social Justice The Mountains Community Resource Network’s History of Working for Social Justice NOVEMBER 2006 Page 2 Aims and Objectives OUR VISION Mountains Community Resource Network is a dynamic peak organisation whose actions are founded on social justice and community development principles. We value community and cultural diversity and we challenge inequality. On behalf of organisations, groups and individuals and concerning the Blue Mountains as a whole, the Mountains Community Resource Network will work towards achieving a socially just community in the Blue Mountains and alleviating community disempowerment caused by poverty, discrimination and human rights injustices. OUR OBJECTIVES MCRN will initiate and co-ordinate actions which address social justice issues, using the following strategies: Networking and Advocacy 1.1 Represent Blue Mountains community organisations on local, regional, statewide and national bodies (both government and non-government), and advocate on behalf of disadvantaged groups and communities 1.2 Lead individuals, groups and agencies in the Blue Mountains to advocate for social justice 1.3 Network and collaborate with non-government and government agencies on community welfare service development, community development and developing responses to social policy 1.4 Contribute to public and social policy development by raising issues and facilitating a community response to government initiatives Community Development 2.1 Facilitate action and activities aimed at improving the wellbeing of disadvantaged individuals and groups 2.2 Initiate, support and resource the emergence of projects which address social justice and respond to community needs. In cases where there is no other appropriate sponsor, MCRN may auspice such projects, depending on available resources Facilitation and Resourcing 3.1 Facilitate a range of interagencies and forums that enable Blue Mountains community organisations to work effectively together 3.2 Facilitate community education on issues of social justice, disadvantage and prejudice 3.3 Facilitate training opportunities for community welfare workers and community welfare organisations 3.4 Provide information and referrals to community groups 3.5 Provide resources, support and promote community organisations for the wellbeing of individuals and the community Research 4.1 Seek resources for and undertake research on community needs and issues in the Blue Mountains 4.2 Promote the use of research for effective social planning.

It’s not just a job. For me and other workers at the Network, and for Mary, it’s more than a job. It’s a framework of reference. And it’s speaking our ideology. That’s something that I will take away. The whole concept of being able to work with the community and work with their strengths and, in my case, with people with mental health problems and carers – to capacity build the sector. Mary and others have been passionate about displaying that in their lifestyle. That’s about capturing the spirit rather than just working with skills. Not the stuff that is courage – it’s the heart stuff, being around like minded people, sharing and collaborating rather than doing things on an individualistic or a project basis. It’s the collaboration and inclusion. (Kylie Clark, 2006) Page 4 Foreground I am always telling people that I have the best job in the Mountains and compiling this history has reinforced this. It is an honour to build on the work of many people whose energy, vision and intelligence has been brought together in the Network over the past twenty years, culminating in an organisation that is far reaching in its productivity and leadership. This book tells some of the stories that show the life and vitality of the Network. It is a very small organisation that contributes enormously to building a strong healthy democratic community voice in the Mountains and beyond. The Network named itself the “lean tiger” in the early 1990s, with an image of being courageous, responsive and flexible. This image continues to be apt in 2006, in a political and global environment where independent community voices are needed more that ever. The strength of the Mountains community sector is a testament to the value of resourcing community connectedness and strengthening community sector collaboration. The successes and productivity detailed in this history can be largely attributed to the energy and commitment of strategic and skilled management committee members over many years. Our thanks go to the many people who have given generously of their time, skills, contacts, experience and commitment to social justice and most of all their willingness to go the extra mile in supporting the Network. We hope we have represented them all well in this document. Mary Waterford, Team Leader, 2000- 2006 Page 5 Introduction to the History Welcome to the 20 year history of the Mountains Community Resource Network Having been a member of the Mountains Community Resource Network Management Committee for six years and, as its current Chairperson, I feel incredibly honoured to write a piece for this history. I understand that MCRN’s position is unique in the community sector. From its very beginnings, it was clear that MCRN would become a vital part of the community sector in the Blue Mountains. Its reputation has continued to grow as has its commitment to social justice and community advocacy. This history will indicate that all staff, both past and present, have shown that it is possible, whatever the political climate, to stand firm for those who do not have a voice to speak for themselves. We should be very thankful and grateful that we have such an organisation in the Blue Mountains and hopeful that it will continue to do this invaluable work. My thanks go to everyone who has contributed to compiling this history. It has been a terrific team effort and an example of people pulling together – so very like the Network! I am proud of the achievements of the Mountains Community Resource Network. I am thrilled to be part of this great group at this memorable juncture in its history and I am glad that I am a part of celebrations. They are well deserved. I commend this history to you. Happy reading! Sue Hardwick, Chairperson.

At its meeting on 8 May 2019, Council considered the findings of the Landscape Heritage Assessment prepared by Time Heritage Landscapes, in association with Richard Lamb and Associates dated 18 April 2019. and resolved prepare a draft local environmental plan to list 22 trees located on the site as identified in the Landscape Heritage Assessment.

  • Koala SEPP—Frequently Asked Questions—Development Applications
    Koala SEPP 2021 Frequently Asked Questions March 2021 State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2021 (“Koala SEPP 2021”) This document answers frequently asked questions about Koala SEPP 2021 What’s the current status? The State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2021 (referred to here as “Koala SEPP 2021”) was made and commenced on 17 March 2021. The principles of the Koala SEPP 2021 are to help koalas thrive by ensuring koala habitat is properly considered during the development assessment process, and to provide a process for councils to strategically manage koala habitat through the development of koala plans of management. As an interim measure, the existing Koala SEPP 2020 will continue to apply in NSW core rural zones RU1, RU2 and RU3, except in the Blue Mountains, Campbelltown, Central Coast, Hawkesbury, Hornsby, Ku-Ring-Gai, Liverpool, Northern Beaches and Wollondilly where Koala SEPP 2021 will apply across all zones. Why are there two Koala SEPPs? Currently, two Koala SEPPs apply in NSW: • The State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2020, which commenced on 30 November 2020 and largely reinstates the policy framework of SEPP 44, and • The State Environmental Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) 2021, which commenced on 17 March 2021 and largely reinstates the policy framework of the 2019 Koala SEPP. This is an interim measure while new codes that include protections for high value koala habitat under the Local Land Services Act 2013 are developed as announced on 8 March. The new codes will decouple core rural zones in rural areas for land management purposes from core koala habitat identified through future Koala Plans of Management under the Koala SEPP.
